Lady Bellaïs is a one of a kind ship on Bonaire, you won't find a more beautiful and spacious ship on the island. The ship holds up to 114 people but on trips it only takes 60-70 people so it doesn't get crowded.

It is a family owned business that take pride out of there work.

The crew that is working on the ship are natives and have together more then 40 years experience.

There are always at lease two guides in the water to help and support you, there is attention for the beginning snorkelers or less confident.

It's also a fun trip for people that don't want to snorkel, the sightseeing is amazing and the crew has lots of stories to tell.

You'll not only be snorkeling and see the underwater-world but you also get to see a part of the beautiful coastline of Bonaire.

You'll be sailing on a spacious traditional build wooden schooner! On cruise ship days our trip is going to take you to a beautiful snorkeling spot on the north side of the island. While sailing to the mooring spot you can enjoy the breathtaking views that Bonaire has to offer from one of our two decks and we will be serving you refreshing drinks from our open bar. Once we moored we will give you instructions and provide you the snorkel gear. For the ones that need it there are floating devices. You'll get the chance to snorkel/swim above an amazing coral reef with your favorite sea creatures, think about Angelfish, Parrotfish, Rays, Trumpetfish, Blue Tangs, Trunkfish, Damselfish and a big chance to see Turtles or even Dolphins passing by. For the ones that are not going to snorkel/swim, we have a real bar on board where we will serve you soft drinks, mixed drinks, juices and some beer-and wines. After all the water fun we will serve you delicious local meal prepared by the captain and his wife. After that there is time for some more fun. Enjoy on your way back to the cruise ship some of the greatest hits that will make you dance from bow to stern. Creating lifetime memories!

Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Snorkeling was disappointing, not much to see compared to sites of our past experiences. Very small group, only 6 guests, hard to create a "festive" atmosphere . Overall it was pleasant, a tour of the b a y, warm hosts and a nice lunch . A bit pricey considering the mediocre snorkeling.
Wonderful first time snorkeling!

We just got back from a cruise and booked with Lady Bellais for the 2nd time at the recommendation of many online reviews. Again, I’m so glad we did!!! What an amazing experience that Senna, Marco, Nina & their photographer provided. They were professional. They were very engaging & easy-going. On our first time May 2025, sailing/snorkeling with them we had our 4 yr old granddaughter and we could not have been in better hands, They went above and beyond our expectations in safety, fun, great food and did I say fun, with spectacular snorkeling and sailing. So, it was a no brainer to go with them a second time on our November cruise. Again the experience was just as good, excellent crew, fantastic food, spectacular snorkeling!! Hopefully next year when we come I’ll hear some great news for Senna and Nina, hint hint. Thank you all so much for the best time and can’t wait to sail again with you all in the future!! Book with them you will not regret it. Thank you so much. June a.k.a tootsie pop lady and family!!! Everything was as-advertised…easy 3min access at the cruise terminal for the shuttle pick up to marina , great home cooked lunch, amazing coleslaw, soft drinks & beer/cocktails all included. The snorkel site was fantastic…and the rope swing into the ocean was a nice, fun experience. It was a lifetime of memories, and we’re thankful for the opportunity. These are wonderful people…so make sure you give them a try!!
Incredible experience

Absolutely recommend this tour, staff was awesome, drinks were great and food was amazing!! Price was unbeatable. Best for everyone even if you can't do the snorkeling or rope swing just being on the boat is amazing.
Wonderful trip with fabulous crew, delicious lunch and drinks.

This is the third time we've gone out on the Lady Bellais. Each trip has been fabulous! The boat is gorgeous, and the crew is fun and super attentive. The bar is always open. We loved the snorkeling and many of the folks had a blast on the rope swing. The boat is very uncrowded with lots of room. Lunch was homemade and delicious! We can't wait for our next trip!
Lady Bellais is a must do experience. Sad we were only able to do one of their offerings in our week in Bonaire.

Great excursion! Highlight of our cruise! This was a gem-- lovely skooner, great staff, incredible snorkeling ( mask and fins provided) for a full hour, followed by rope swing/ acrobatics off the ship into the water ( it was a blast and very safe), then a delicious home cooked lunch of creole chicken stew, rice and coleslaw (if you give more notice they'll accommodate pescetarians, etc.), then music and dancing all the way back to the pier. The staff were friendly and accommodating, directions on where to meet were easy. The skooner had an upper deck for sunworshippers and plenty of shade below for the sun- sensitive. There are two bathrooms also. The maximum capacity is 70 persons but we had just 18 plus crew, so it felt like our private skooner! We had a very varied mix of tastes in our group but they ALL felt it was the best excursion of our 9 day cruise. It was a wonderful day and I would recommend it highly! And a great value for $95 as lunch and open bar included!
Fantastic Excursion
